For Cardio I did Jillian’s Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zone.

Strength and Endurance workout and Abdominal Strength and Core Conditioning are the same as the Week 1. Let me give you low down all the exercises in both these DVD’s. Both the DVDs , actually all the workouts in Rushfit have a common warm-upand cool-downwhich are ach 5 minutes longs. The format of the each workout is that it is divided into 5 rounds of circuit workouts with 1 minute break between the workouts. Strength and Endurance Workouthave these moves.

The Fight Conditioning workout like the name suggest is about fight moves, these are basic moves in MMA . GSP teaches you some of the fight moves, front kick, round kick and all the works.

There is a lot of coordination involved, which to me was a little too much because I didn’t want to be a fighter or learn martial arts; all I want is a good workout.

To be frank I did'nt feel worked out at all. I was messing up big time because I was paying too much attention on how to get the moves right. The first time when I did it, half way through I got frustrated and wanted to shut the video and move one but I battled through. The second time over wasn’t any better, I was still flopping around.

When I completed the week 2 schedule something that was clear in my head was I didn’t want to do Rushfit . I dint like it. Don’t get me wrong it may be a good workout but it not for me, at least for now. Sometimes no matter how good something is, it may not be the right thing for you. At this moment I am not looking at being an athlete, I just want to get to certain level of fitness. Rushfit is a good workout if you want to tone and maintain your endurance and do it a slow pace. But if you are like me who wants fast paced stuff cause you are always crunched for time and want to pack in more in every hour then I suggest you look elsewhere.

The slowness of the workout, the common warm-up and cool-down, So many common moves in all the dvds , just got downright boring for me. So I decided that before I quit working out completely because of boredom I need to make some changes. And this is what I did, I knew I loved Jillian’s workout, so put together a workout schedule for 30 days for myself. It is basically a rotation of couple of her videos.

This pretty similar to Jillian’s 30 day Slim down plan on Exercise TV. I posted the original plan here in June and planned to follow it but as always did something completely different so much for planning. What do you think about my workout changes?

This is how my schedule looks like

DAY 1 – 6W6P LEVEL 1

I have already completed the 1st week’s videos and will post the update in part 2 of this post. This one is way too long but if you have lasted this far, please don’t forget to add in your two cents in the comments section

Hey Sugar,The Strength & Endurance DVD is part of the GSP Rushfit kit so I dont know whether you can get it seperately, and the DVD requires using weights so you would need some dumbells. If you are looking at bodyweight then try Jillians workouts which only use body weight such as No more Trouble Zone and Banish Fat and boost Metabolism. Both are excellent. Or else you can put together a workout at home. I published a workout schedule some time back that I have used . It works wonders so you can try that as well

I am huge fan ofBipasha Basu, for those who don’t know her she is a Indian Movie Star.Her being a star is not the reason I like her, it because of her killer body . She I am sure has worked her ass to achieve it because when she joined the film Industry she wasn’t that fit, proff right here

When she got into the whole fitness DVD thing I was among the first to buy her DVD. It was an amazing workout video on the same lines of Jillian Michaels. So when she planned the release of her second DVD Breakfree, I went and pre ordered it through Flipkart. It was my New Year gift and it arrived on the first so thankyou flipkart. Now about Breakfree, so as I mentioned this is the second installment of the Love yourself series. The preodered DVD comes with Bipasha’s autograph on it. It is a dance workout unlike her earlier dvd . The audience she wants to target is anyone who finds gym workout. The DVD contains ·An introduction to love yourself philosophy ·An introduction to Breakfree: Basically Bipa…

All weight loss programs fail due to diet. "You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to loose weight.” Skinny Bitch. When I got pregnant I stopped worrying about what I ate worst still I continued doing so after the birth as well. Chocolates, ice-creams, chips, samosas, jalebis you name it and I ate it, all in the name of pregnancy and child birth. One thing I would request all pregnant women is to watch what you eat while you are pregnant or you will end being the fat mummy that you loath being. I was size 0 before my wedding (all my life till the age of 30), reached a size 12 after the wedding and stayed there for 2 years, went back to a size 0 (workout, diet ) and stayed there till pregnancy. The crux is I haven’t it in me to be fit and to eat sensibly. This diet plan was created after reading a lot of diet books. Reading list: Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight and Women and the Weight Loss Tamasha by Rujuta Diwekar, The Four-week C…

I was reading an recent article in a Vidya Balan ( Indian actress) suffering from Hypothyroid. This got me thinking about fitness and our role model. All this while after her movie ‘the dirty picture’ Vidya has been sporting the voluptuous look draped in a sari. Most tabloids and fashion magazine hailed her as the gutsy lady who looked sexy and brought back the voluptuous figure back. All I could see was a fat woman A few years back the very same tabloids hailed another Indian actress Kareena Kapoor( now Khan) for being the fittest with her size zero look. There were talks about her wonderful diet plan and 100 suryanamaskar routines. But are these actresses really fit. Take a look for yourself

When I look at Vidya , all that hoopla about being the real woman seems just seems another excuse for being fat. She wasn’t voluptuous because that just meant she had a huge bone structure. She has fat all around her. Kareena Kapoor on the other hand looked like one of the anorexi…
